Posting at 4am is never a good idea.

When working on something creative there is normally a terrifying period when it all feels like a series of disjointed islands, adrift in a vast ocean, that can never meet. And then.. sometimes... things start connecting, and it all starts to make sense. And tonight has been that moment.

Progress. Step by step, word by word.

As a general rule, ANY industry that advertises itself by telling you to use it less and quit any time it stops being fun knows its predatory and unhealthy.

So people are betting on - and then possibly - murdering the Heads of State of other countries, and hoping WeTakeAnyBetKillKillKill will pay out?

What about all the patriots who moved abroad so they don't have to pay tax?

If there's enough money to start a war on another country, there's enough money to solve almost all of the problems at home. They just don't want to.

Watching "Jurassic World : Rebirth", and... the effects looks worse than 1993's "Jurassic Park", and I'm confident a 14 year old could execute better CGI with a Playstation5.

If I trust you, I share. But an audience of potentially billions? Some very untrustworthy people there.

Murder was only released in Belgium, so got to 92 on Import only at about £6.99 for a 12" vs the standard £2.99/£3.49

Reasons why it peaked at #56? Distribution was poor, the cover was obtuse with no text on, it was already on the album in a vastly similar mix, there was no 'new' B-side, the video was weird. If you check the previous similar single Subculture (with the same criteria), it hit a similar #64.

Mad innit, there was genuine hope and relief in the air yesterday, then you wake up and some senile tangerine turd elected by a load of hillbilly cousin-fuckers has started World War 3.

It’s why he’s trying to rename everything in his image. It’s never enough, because he’s not enough and he knows he’s not enough.”

Operation Epic Fury??? We now go live to The War Room.

Anika Nilles is going on tour with Rush — the very first interview - Slagwerkkrant.nl When it was recently announced that Germany's Anika Nilles would have the honor of succeeding one of the most important drummers in rock music history in Rush, everyone wanted to know all the details....

www.slagwerkkrant.nl/nieuws/artik... : She'll do fine. I was watching Bram with U2 and he was more than fine - but not the same. And I'm sure Anika is a great drummer. It'll be different, but the same.

Ha ha ha, "people" started out the season complaining that Starfleet Academy is for youngins with no attention spans. Now, all of a sudden, the show is slow and boring and barely moving.🤣🖖🏿

Making progress, day by day on... THE BOOK. 55,789 words.

As a general thought, whilst I am very interested in the world being a better place, I don't post much about politics because it's mostly divisive and well, often depressing.
